Seeking Nourishment

Freckles

From where I was sitting in the Sky Place I couldn’t see what was causing the rustling sound in the Slippery Ground Land, even when I stretched my neck as far as it would go. But, I knew that I usually heard the sound before scrumptious food was delivered to me.

Something growled. I jumped in the air and searched the area all around me searching for the source of the growling. When it growled again, I realized that it was my own stomach! I had to have nourishment or I might die here, alone in the Sky Place.

I hopped as fast as I could into the Slippery Ground Land, stopping with a short skid directly in front of the high-voiced one. I searched the ground around me to see if I could locate the fantastic smell that floated in the air.
